What are some popular blogs?
Fortheloveofcoolhair.blogspot.com-cool Hairdo websiteTypesThere are many different types of blogs, differing not only in the type of content, but also in the way that content is delivered or written.Personal BlogsThe personal blog, an ongoing diary or commentary by an individual, is the traditional, most common blog. Personal bloggers usually take pride in their blog posts, even if their blog is never read by anyone but them. Blogs often become more than a way to just communicate; they become a way to reflect on life or works of art. Blogging can have a sentimental quality. Few personal blogs rise to fame and the mainstream, but some personal blogs quickly garner an extensive following. A type of personal blog is referred to as "microblogging," which is extremely detailed blogging as it seeks to capture a moment in time. Sites, such as Twitter, allow bloggers to share thoughts and feelings instantaneously with friends and family and is much faster than e-mailing or writing. This form of social media lends to an online generation already too busy to keep in touch.Corporate BlogsA blog can be private, as in most cases, or it can be for business purposes. Blogs, either used internally to enhance the communication and culture in a corporation or externally for marketing, branding or public relations purposes are called corporate blogs.Question Bloggingis a type of blog that answers questions. Questions can be submitted in the form of a submittal form, or through email or other means such as telephone or VOIP. Qlogs can be used to display shownotes from podcasts or the means of conveying information through the internet. Many question logs use syndication such as RSS as a means of conveying answers to questions.By Media TypeA blog comprising videos is called a vlog, one comprising links is called a linklog, a site containing a portfolio of sketches is called a sketchblog or one comprising photos is called a photoblog. Blogs with shorter posts and mixed media types are called tumblelogs. Blogs that are written on typewriters and then scanned are called typecast or typecast blogs; see typecasting (blogging).A rare type of blog hosted on the Gopher Protocol is known as a Phlog.By DeviceBlogs can also be defined by which type of device is used to compose it. A blog written by a mobile device like a mobile phone or PDA could be called a moblog. One early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person's personal life combining text, video, and pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and EyeTap device to a web site. This practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with text was referred to as sousveillance. Such journals have been used as evidence in legal matters.By GenreSome blogs focus on a particular subject, such as political blogs, travel blogs, house blogs, fashion blogs, project blogs, education blogs, niche blogs, classical music blogs, quizzing blogs and legal blogs (often referred to as a blawgs) or dreamlogs. While not a legitimate type of blog, one used for the sole purpose of spamming is known as a Splog.SourceWikipedia
Photography?
Photography can be broken down into two groups: Fine art photography, and commercial photography.Commercial photography includes advertising photography, fashion photography, photojournalism, wedding photography, and portraits.Photography as fine arts has often been contested.Photography is basically the reproduction of an image and not, as with painting or sculpting, the creation of image, so critics of fine art photography have disputed its value.Fine art photographers argue that staging, lighting, development techniques, and a number of other controlled variables raise photography above the simple capturing of images and justify photographs as art.Fine art photographers have used all manner of subjects for their projects from the mundane to the obscene.Through still life, landscapes, portraiture, and street photography, fine art photographers develop images with the goal of creating a reaction from an audienceThe Study of PhotographyProfessional schools of photography provide students with training in both digital and film photography.Courses in lighting, staging, retouching, and film development prepare students for a career in photography.Students are trained in techniques for still life, landscapes, and portraits for the purposes of fine art as well as commercial art.Schools of PhotographyAlmost all colleges will require students to procure their own camera.Some colleges require students to purchase a professional grade camera and tripod.Others will accept a SLR or point-and-shoot camera.The development of digital cameras and other technology has advanced online schools of photography.Students of an online photography school may receive the same course of study as traditional schools and may even use the same textbooks.One example of an online school of photography is the New York Institute of Photography.NYI has educated 2, students in more than 5 countries.Their distance education courses are augmented by video programs, audio guides, and student advisors.Their courses cover professional photography, digital photography, Photoshop, and the fundamentals of photography.Academy of Art University located in San Francisco, California offers an on campus photography school as well as an online photography program.Their online School of Photography offers an Associate of Arts, a Bachelor of Arts, and a Master’s of Art in Photography as well as a three class photography course for non-degree students.In addition to teaching the fundamentals of photography, AAU guides students in the creation of a photography portfolio that will demonstrate their skill and perspective to potential employers and art galleries.
